💬 "I knew right there and then, this is the direction we're going to have to go, especially if I want Autism in Black to be the greatest. If I want Autism in Black to go to the next level, I know that I'm not going to be able to do it with only focus being on women.”

⚡ In this episode, I share with you my awesome experience at the fifth annual Autism in Black Conference—our first in-person conference after years of doing it virtually. Here, I reflect on why Black fathers’ voices and experiences matter and why it should be talked about in the autism community.

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

  • ➡ The unique challenges and rewards of organizing a major conference.
  • ➡ How the inclusion of men's perspectives has shifted the dynamics within the autism community.
  • ➡ The emotional impact of the conference on attendees, speakers, and staff alike.
  • ➡ A sneak peek into upcoming projects and events, including a couple's summit for parents and co-parents of individuals with autism.
